This canon establishes a new foundation for economic life: one in which survival is guaranteed, production is shared, and human purpose is liberated. It calls for a reevaluation of what it means to “make a living,” replacing wage dependence with universal productive participation and freedom for higher purpose.

== Preamble ==

Modern productive technology is sufficiently advanced that the material basis of life can be maintained with a small fraction of human time. Therefore, it is neither necessary nor desirable for human life to be organized around full-time labor for survival. A new system must be established in which all people contribute modestly to the provisioning of civilization, and are otherwise free to pursue meaningful, self-directed lives.

== The Ten Principles ==

=== 1. Purpose of the Economy ===
The economy exists to regenerate people, nature, and society—not merely to produce and exchange commodities.

=== 2. Redefinition of Return ===
Return is defined as the increase of material sufficiency, human agency and meaning, and ecological health—not merely financial gain.

=== 3. Survival Without Coercion ===
No person shall be required to justify their existence through market exchange in order to meet basic needs.

=== 4. Universal Productive Participation ===
Every able person shall contribute directly to the material basis of life through productive work.

=== 5. Low-Threshold Contribution ===
Because productive technology is highly efficient, the required contribution shall be modest—such as one day per week or equivalent.

=== 6. Open Access to Production ===
The means of production must be open, learnable, replicable, and accessible to all.

=== 7. Stewardship Over Ownership ===
Control of productive assets shall be based on responsibility and stewardship, not on the right to extract or exclude.

=== 8. Anti-Extraction ===
No individual or institution may control the material basis of life in a way that creates dependency or enables unearned extraction.

=== 9. Freedom for Higher Purpose ===
Once basic needs are secured through shared production, all individuals are free to pursue self-directed endeavors, including art, philosophy, science, entrepreneurship, invention, and societal transformation.

=== 10. Hand–Mind Unity ===
Every person should maintain a direct relationship with material production, ensuring grounding in real work and full human development.

== Structural Model ==

The economy is organized into two complementary layers:

=== Provisioning Layer ===
A distributed, open, and collaborative system that provides:
* food
* shelter
* energy
* water
* infrastructure
* essential services

Maintained through universal, low-threshold participation.

=== Purpose Layer ===
All activities beyond basic provisioning, including:
* creative expression
* intellectual inquiry
* entrepreneurship
* innovation
* cultural and societal development

Freely pursued without subsistence pressure.

== Operational Principle ==

Each able person contributes modestly to the provisioning layer, and is thereby liberated to pursue their highest purpose in the remaining majority of their time.

== Bottom Line ==

The goal of civilization is not full employment.
The goal is full human development.

A healthy economy makes survival easy through shared production, so that human life can be devoted to meaning, creativity, truth, and transformation.
